It's always seemed odd to me that Lisp is mentioned with functional programming. Perhaps FP colloquially means 'effective but uncommon'?

Sometimes programming tools are so good that you miss them when using other languages. I see these mentioned the most frequently:
* IntelliJ (for Java)
* Slime+Emacs (for Common Lisp)
* Pharo (for Smalltalk)
I'm struck that they all have bespoke UIs.
It's always seemed odd to me that the Rust stdlib is so lean (no random numbers, regex, HTTP) yet clippy is so big (correctness, performance, style preferences, even 'too many arguments').
Maybe it's because cargo is mature but clippy doesn't have an extension ecosystem?
The word "agent" is so overloaded in the AI space.
Sometimes it means a sophisticated interaction system, but other times it just means API.
I think it's partly a sign of how new the space is. We don't have consensus on the best way to use these systems yet.
